All characters in the same font have one body frame of a common size. Each character contained in a font has a one-letter box (indicated by W2 in Figure 13). The letter box is defined as a box having one of the largest sizes of the character shapes. All characters in the same font have a letter box of a common size. Each character contained in a font has a character box (indicated by W1 in Fig. 13). The character box indicates a range in which the shape of a sub-element is actually designed. Therefore, the character box has a size that varies depending on the character. As shown in Figures 13(a) and (b), the character box of each character is a rectangular shape having a different size. For example, the character box of "stomach" (Fig. 13(a)) is one rectangle larger than the rectangle of the character box of "work" (Fig. 13 (b)). For the sake of simplification, the character shape is indicated by the pen data indicating the character backbone structure in FIG. 13 (&) and (b), but the outline data of the character contours may be indicated to represent the characters. Meta shape. The character is generated from the material indicating the shape of the word by using, for example, the conventional technique described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei. No. Hei. The documents disclose a character generating device for printing a sequence of characters when printed by a high resolution printing device (e.g., a phototypewriter, a printer, or the like) Where the size is, a sequence of balanced characters is output by changing the ratio of the letter box to the main frame. Figures 14(a) and (b) show an example of the above technique. Figure 14 (a) "stomach" or 93643.doc 1271642 "work" letter box to the main frame ratio is higher than the ratio of the "stomach" or "worker letter box to the main frame" of Figure 14 (b). Figure 1 5(a) and (b) show examples of characters printed continuously. In Figure 15(a), the sequence of three characters has the same ratio of letter boxes to the main frame. Figure 15 (a), three Each sequence of character sequences has a different letter box to body frame ratio. When the character size is increased (upper sequence), the letter box is increased. In this case, 'when the object of the adjacent character is made When the frames are in contact with one another and the characters are arranged horizontally or vertically, the characters can be recognized to be larger by adjusting a space between the characters so that the space is not too large. For example, when the ratio of the letter box to the main frame in FIG. 15(4) is maintained while the character is enlarged, a space between the characters is also increased, so that the characters are sparse and thus it is difficult to read one character. Sequence. Japanese Patent Publication No. 77295 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 5·25745() (4) This problem is solved as follows E.g. 'in FIG 15⑷, the enlarged or reduced characters while changing the ratio of the letterbox of the main frame. In a manner tune

The enlargement/reduction font c includes: an enlargement/reduction font cq "vertical full frame enlargement" in which the character frame is changed vertically and horizontally at the same enlargement/reduction ratio while maintaining the vertical and horizontal of the letter frame and the character frame Ratio, such that the character frame matches the letter box in the vertical direction; and a zoom in/out font C-2 "horizontal full frame enlargement" in which the character frame is changed vertically and horizontally at the same enlargement/reduction ratio While maintaining the vertical ratio of the letter box to the character box, the character box matches the letter box in the horizontal direction. Specifically, when the one-character code supplied from the character code input section 2 is specified in the enlargement/reduction font storage section 6 connected to the enlargement/reduction font conversion section 4, the input code is specified from the size input section. When the segment 3 provides one of the bit map sizes to determine one of the enlargement/reduction fonts, the enlargement/reduction font conversion section 4 selects from the enlargement/reduction font storage section 6 and the character code and One of the bit map sizes corresponds to enlarge/reduce the font. The selected enlargement/reduction font is supplied to the enlargement/reduction section 5 connected to the enlargement/reduction font conversion section 4 via the enlargement/reduction font conversion section 4 connected to the enlargement/reduction font storage section 6. . Figure 5 is a diagram showing one of the exemplary enlargement/reduction fonts stored in the enlargement/reduction font storage section 6 of Figure 1. 93643.doc • 21- 1271642 Large X coordinates. The minimum y coordinate of the character box is represented by min_y, and the maximum y coordinate of the character frame is represented by curry ^. In this case, the (4) width of the character box is: π mx=max—x_min—X 〇 The actual height of the character box is: my=max—y_min−y 〇when mx=<my, decide The character box is portrait. Select the enlargement/reduction font "C-1". Then, the program proceeds to step su. When mx>my, it is decided that the character box is horizontal. Select the enlargement/reduction font "C-2". The program proceeds to step s丨j. For example, in the case of the character "stomach" of Figure 3A, the actual width mx of the character box is 205 (= 230-25), and the actual height of the character box is 232 (= 241- 9). Therefore, the character frame is vertical, and the enlargement/reduction font "C-1" is selected. In the case of the character data "three" of Fig. 3C, the actual width mx of the character frame is 239 (= 247-8), and the actual height of the character frame is 206 (= 231-25). Therefore, the character frame is horizontal and the enlarged/reduced font "C-2" is selected. In step S11, according to the input of one of the bit map size in step S2, the character data read in step S3, in step § 5, 87 or S8, one of the enlargement/reduction fonts is performed to perform enlargement/reduction. Conversion. The value calculated in the enlargement/reduction conversion is rounded to an integer. For example, as shown in Fig. 2A, an original character data is contained in a letter box of 256x25 6 points, that is, the coordinate data ranges from (〇, 〇) to (255, 255). The coordinates of the coordinates before conversion are represented by 93643.doc -26-1271642 (x, y), and converted to one (n+1) X (n+l) by (ηχ, ny) (n=255 in Fig. 2A) ) The coordinates of the letter behind the box. The minimum χ coordinate of the character frame is represented by mm-X, and the maximum X coordinate of the character frame is represented by max_x. The minimum y coordinate of the character box is represented by min_y, and the maximum y coordinate of the character frame is represented by max_y. In this case, the actual width of the character box is: mx = max - x - min - x. The actual height of the character box is: my = max - y - min - y. For example, when zooming in / out When the font is "A", the coordinates of the enlargement/reduction conversion (nx, ny) are calculated according to the following expression: (nx, ny) = ((x - min - x) xn / mx, (y_min - yb n /m force (1). For example, when the size of the bit map image input in step S2 is u point, the above expression (1) is used to convert the character data "stomach" of the _ to (4) to generate the expression following the letter. The character data value shown. Therefore, as shown in Figure 9(a), one character above, below, right and left of the box. When the zoomed in/out font "B" is selected, by different magnification / Reduce the converted coordinates (nx, ny): (nx, ny) = (xxn / 255, yxn / 255) ". (2) 0 yuan image size is 23 points, the material "stomach" is converted into Figure 8C As shown, the generation of a one-letter box is generated, for example, when one bit is input in step S2, the character data value of the character of Fig. 2A is used using the above expression (2). Therefore, as shown in Fig. 9(c) One character case of one of the character box ratios When the input one-dimensional image size is 23 points in step S2, 93643.doc -27- 1271642 is given to the output section 7. Figure I2(a-1) shows that one letter box is adjusted according to a conventional technique. A ratio of one of the main frames is enlarged/reduced to a sequence of one character, wherein a bitmap size corresponding to the letter box has a size of 19. For comparison, FIG. 12(b1) shows a sequence of characters by using the The item-specific character generation method is used to enlarge/reduce the character sequence such that the upper, lower, right and left sides of a character box respectively match the upper, lower, right and left sides of the letter box, wherein the letter The box corresponds to a bit map size of 19 (corresponding to the character size in Figure 12 (al)) (in this embodiment the one-bit image size is smaller than 16 enlargement/reduction font a). 12(a-2) displays the character box of Figure i2(a_l), filling the character box with black. Figure 12(b-2) shows the character box of Figure 12 (bl), filling the character box with black Fig. 12(a-3) shows a character having an actual size of one of Fig. 12(ai). Fig. 12(b-3) shows a character having an actual size of one of the figures i2(b1). 12(a-2) and FIG. 12(b_2), it can be seen that the position and size of the character frame of FIG. 12(a_2) are changed, and the position and size of the character frame of FIG. 12(b_2) are not The comparison shows that the position and size of the characters in Figures 12(a-3) and 12(b-3)'Fig. 12(a-3) having a sequence of one character of an actual size are significantly changed. In the above specific embodiment, the enlargement/reduction font conversion section 4 selects and applies according to one character code input by the character code input section 2 and one bit map size input by the size designation input section 3. One of the vertical and horizontal enlargement/reduction ratios (rate/rati〇) of a character box enlarges/reduces the font. According to the enlarged/reduced font, the enlargement/reduction section 5 enlarges/reduces the shape of the character data stored in the storage section 1, and outputs the output via the output area 93643.doc -29-1272642 Generated character data. Therefore, it is possible to generate a character that is easy to read and has no change in nature when a sequence of characters is displayed on a low-resolution display device or the like. In the above specific embodiment, when a specified bit map size is smaller than a first size, the word 70 frame is enlarged/reduced in a vertical direction and in a horizontal direction so that the character frame is above, below, and right. The left side is in contact with the upper, lower, right and left sides of the letter box. Alternatively, the enlargement/reduction ratios in the vertical and horizontal directions may be respectively changed such that the top, bottom, right, and left sides of a character box are spaced apart from the top, bottom, right, and left sides of the letter box by a point or more ( Visually identified as contact). In other words, according to the present invention, the enlargement/reduction ratios in the vertical and horizontal directions can be respectively changed such that the upper, lower, right and left sides of a character frame substantially contact the upper, lower, right and left sides of the alphabetical frame ( Including where no contact has been established). The enlargement/reduction ratio is changed in order to obtain a regular and regular sequence of characters. Similarly, when the specified bit map size is equal to or greater than - the first size and less than the second size, the same enlargement/reduction ratio is used to enlarge/reduce the characters in the vertical and horizontal directions to make the word Above and below the right or left and right sides of the box, respectively, touch the top and bottom or right and left sides of the letter box. Or ' can change (4) the enlargement/reduction ratio such that the word is separated from the letter box by one or more points (visually recognized as contact). As described above, according to the present invention, a sequence of characters which can be easily read and which is substantially unchanged can be generated in accordance with the character code and the size of the bit map. Certainly, it produces a sequence of "characters" that are best suited for low-resolution display devices. Those skilled in the art will understand and readily make various other modifications without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
